Black Turtleneck, Round Glasses: Expanding Planning Culture Perspectives

According to a recent
American study, sexism and racism are so widespread in architecture
that there is a distaste for these topics within the branch itself. What
are the reasons for this exclusionary working culture? Even in Germany,
most architecture graduates since the turn of the millennium have been
female--but a large number of conventions and assumptions within the
discipline make it difficult for women to remain in the profession. As a
result, a great deal of highly trained talent is lost. Black Turtleneck, Round Glasses
uses an intersectional feminist perspective to examine the structural
causes that push women--and anyone else who isn't a white cis man--out of
the branch. How can architectural teaching and discourse as well as the
industry's self-image become more diverse? Where are the experiences of a
pluralistic society missing from the built environment? How can we
bring about cultural change in planning and architecture?

Featuring an interview with the Dutch architect Afaina de Jong

Construction 4.0: An Innovation Platform for the Built Environment
<p>Modelled on the concept of Industry 4.0, the idea of Construction 4.0 is based on a confluence of trends and technologies that promise to reshape the way built environment assets are designed, constructed, and operated. </p><p>With the pervasive use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital technologies, and offsite construction, the industry is at the cusp of this transformation. The critical challenge is the fragmented state of teaching, research, and professional practice in the built environment sector. This handbook aims to overcome this fragmentation by describing Construction 4.0 in the context of its current state, emerging trends and technologies, and the people and process issues that surround the coming transformation.</p><p>Construction 4.0 is a framework that is a confluence and convergence of the following broad themes discussed in this book: </p><ul> <li>Industrial production (prefabrication, 3D printing and assembly, offsite manufacture)</li> <li>Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors, IoT, robots, cobots, drones)</li> <li>Digital and computing technologies (BIM, video and laser scanning, AI and cloud computing, big data and data analytics, reality capture, Blockchain, simulation, augmented reality, data standards and interoperability, and vertical and horizontal integration)</li> </ul><p>The aim of this handbook is to describe the Construction 4.0 framework and consequently highlight the resultant processes and practices that allow us to plan, design, deliver, and operate built environment assets more effectively and efficiently by focusing on the physical-to-digital transformation and then digital-to-physical transformation. This book is essential reading for all built environment and AEC stakeholders who need to get to grips with the technological transformations currently shaping their industry, research, and teaching.</p>
